The man, who does not want to be named, said that most days around ten drug users plant themselves on a bit of greenery near West Parade and Spring Bank and "get high," all while shouting at nearby residents.

He said that more often than not, the group also deals drugs in public. He added: "You try and tell them and they swear and shout at you and some of them flash you. We used to have a police officer patrolling but don't have that now.

"There's been times where they have been fighting between themselves, a lot of them are out of their heads. One time, someone got stabbed right outside my front door and bled out."

The man regularly sees people using drugs in the area

The 63-year-old claimed the group often resort to stealing to get their next fix, which they then take outside his house, and near to Collingwood School.

He said: "They take things from Tesco to fund their habit. They are doing it all outside and they deal - you can see them passing money and the stuff between each other and one walks one way and one walks another."

The man has managed to take pictures of two men sat on the green. Strewn around them is rubbish and mini clear bags, which he said was filled with drugs.

He said: "I saw them and they were high as a kite. We all tell them to go away and call the council and the police but they come back when they've gone and shout at people and tell them they can do what they want.

"A lot report them to the authorities but some don't because they are scared and it is so scary.

"I have depression and have been going to the shops and had to walk around them off the path because they don't move and are intimidating. People tell me to move but this is my home - why should I?

"I even heard that when drinking outside the school the council told them to get a carrier bag to put their cans in to throw away. They are doing all of this right outside the school.

"On the picture I took you can see one of them putting a can in the air and saying 'cheers' to me - they don't care. They are always arguing and shouting at each other, you can hear it all from my living room."

The man said the situation has made him fearful and frightened and said: "This is sending me back downhill it is so stressful. I don't want to tell my daughters about it because I don't want to get involved. I have grandchildren who come and see me and should be playing outside in this nice weather, but they can't.

The man says people have told him to move because of the issue

"People say 'build a fence,' but how high would it have to be? Or they say 'get a dog' but the only dog I would get is a Labrador as I'm partially blind.

"It's awful to live near. It's scary, especially when you see them all off their heads and talking to themselves."
